Research Associate, Kieran Richards won “Poster with best scientific content” at the Multiple Long-Term Conditions: From Research To Reality Meeting, in Birmingham in May 2025, for the poster titled

 

“Understanding the Pattern of Prescribed Medication”.

 

The poster describes the new method for clustering individuals on multiple long-term medications based upon multiple facets of their prescription patterns: which drugs were prescribed, when they were prescribed, and at what dosage they were prescribed. This presents an alternative approach to understanding polypharmacy compared to the simple count of medications that’s typically used to define polypharmacy.
